On Monday 30th January,​ the school of Business, Law and Communications came together to hold the Meet the Professionals event, in the new Spark building. Over 30 professionals attended from a variety of businesses including Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising sectors. The evening began with three insightful presentations from Digital Marketing agency Koozai, Solent alumni Sally Newman was the first to take the stage, speaking on the importance of work experience. Next to talk was Sophie Howell who explained the world of social advertising before handing over to Jen Williams gave her top tips on creating a CV and discussed the wonderful world of content marketing.

Take a look at what a few of our students had to say about the event:

“Helpful and exciting to meet professionals for an insight to the real PR world”

Some good tips for networking, it definitely makes networking much easier if you follow these steps. In regards to the event, I found the presentations at the beginning very useful and gave me lots of helpful resources!
